Award-winning LGBTQ+ cocktail bar Red Light is back, a couple of months after closing its original home at Kampus.

The bar reopened on Friday 9 October on Tariff Street in the Northern Quarter, next door to The Whisky Jar.

Founder Deana Ferguson has given it a new look, with booth seating, the familiar red glow and an outdoor terrace open until 11pm.

A downstairs club space is due to open later this year.

Familiar cocktails return, including the Pink Picante, the Pomme Verte and the Especiado, a spicy pickle martini, alongside a new snack menu with boquerones, guindilla peppers and Gordal olives, and blondies from Manchester bakery Pollen.

The venue will host live jazz on Sundays, regular drag and burlesque performances, themed nights and late-night DJ sets.

"Our new location gives us the space to realise that vision fully, with the same soul and now a proper home for cocktails, food, and great music," Ferguson said.

Red Light is mainly walk-in and opens from 4pm Wednesday to Sunday, until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
